I was under the impression that the New Yorker had a relatively intelligent readership, so they aren't going to believe Obama is actually as terrorist :) It's not their fault that so many other americans are so stupid...

Agreed. Plus I like to see people squirm for stupid reasons. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.252.61.169 (talk) 16:00, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

So, why haven't they gotten upset with the Onion yet? :p Fephisto (talk) 18:13, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Had I not had it pointed out to me by this article, I would have been oblivious of the cover's 'satirical' intent. A drawing of Obama as Osama is not satirical without some kind of context; otherwise it looks like an straightforward expression of agreement with that portrayal. --78.146.219.26 02:43, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm.

It takes the stick of the opposition, and pokes 'em right in the eye. (Or other sensitive body part of choice!)

WELL DONE. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.103.36.197 (talk) 04:29, 18 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
